A New Day

I've noticed that sometimes Mason will go to bed one kid and wake up a whole different one. The past couple of nights have been pretty rough for him sleeping wise. Last night he woke up just screaming and screaming and we couldn't get him to stop. He was angry and frustrated and nothing we could do or say would help him. We felt so badly because we didn't know what was causing it. So we just rode it out, sitting on the floor with him and letting him do whatever he needed to do. Finally whatever it was passed and he was able to get back to sleep. Wolf gave him his leapfrog Tad and that seemed to help him. We heard him later on in the night turn it on and play some music. Thankfully there were no more screaming sessions.

Then this morning he woke up in the best of spirits and seems to be different, older. He is very clearly talking in complete sentences now and is getting very good at communicating. This morning I was in the kitchen getting breakfast ready when he looked up at me from the office and says, "miss you so much, mama." My heart just broke. And he very clearly says I love you now. Such a sweet, gentle soul, he is.

I took him to check out a new school yesterday, one that is closer to home and has gotten rave reviews. We met with the owner of the school who showed us around. I was very impressed, both with her and the school, and she was likewise impressed with Mason. If we get him in now, he is set for school all the way until kindergarten. He is in a school now with a teacher he absolutely loves, but he will only be in the class until October anyway, so I think we might make the switch. He seemed to have a lot of fun playing with everything although I'm sure it will be a rough transition for him to leave his Nessa. We don't have school days we have "'Nessa days."

Well, we are off to Lisa's, aka Art Start, where Mason loves to do art, and loves to see Lisa.
